Any chance to reproduce the initial problem again? Once the data structure is wrecked, there is little hope of automatically bringing it into a good state again. So we have to find out what went wrong initially. > The upgrade still don't work but the data structure was untouched > this time: This is because nothing is done if the clusters 'main', 'transition', and 'legacy' all exist already.

(what parameters ?) You can add 'set -x' at the top of the file (below the very first line). However, I'm afraid your current installation is FUBAR for the transition package. If you need the data from the databases, I can tell you how to fix it manually. If not, I'd suggest to just purge all packages and reinstall from scratch.
